First, illustrate the problem:
24 feet is the distance between the tree and the mirror.
4 feet is the distance from Irene's eyes to the mirror.
5.5 feet is the distance of Irene's eyes from the ground.
4 feet is the distance of Irene from the mirror
From this, we can draw a right triangle and then use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the oak tree. Also, we have an option to use ratio and proportion between two similar triangles.
To find the area of a building.

Answer:
51 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
Start at one end of the 50-foot line segment.
At position 0 ft, put one tree.
Then 1 ft from 0 ft, put tree number 2.
One more foot over, at position 2 ft from the start, put tree number 3.
Notice that each tree number is one more than the number of feet.
That means at 50 ft from the stat, you put tree number 51.
Answer: 51 trees
